"The imperial court was afraid that there would be another situation, so it temporarily imposed a ban on the sea." Li said, "It's just that since the founding of the country, our dynasty has had fewer restrictions on sea vessels, and there are also frequent transactions with maritime countries. This time, the emperor said that it would be banned, which made some people complain. ”

Sanniang knew that this dynasty was relatively relaxed in maritime trade. Because since the founding of the country, maritime trade has brought a lot of income to the treasury, especially in the previous dynasties, maritime trade was a monopoly industry controlled by the state.

It is only in recent dynasties that the imperial court's profits in maritime trade have been greatly discounted.

Sanniang noticed this matter, and she still had to start from the book about the Jianwu Dynasty that she read a few years ago.

The first emperor Jianwu Emperor, at best, can be said to be an eloquent emperor, but it can also be said that he is a reckless soldier. After he ascended the throne, he won several battles in the war against the north, and his self-confidence was seriously inflated. So after a few years of stability, he launched a war against a small country in Nanyang, and the reason was only because the king and queen of this small country made a joke about Emperor Jianwu in private, and it is impossible to know what he was talking about. Some say that the king laughed at Emperor Jianwu's slightly cross-eyed, and some said that the king laughed at Emperor Jianwu for marrying his father's little wife. However, in Sanniang's opinion, most of these are excuses, to put it bluntly, Emperor Jianwu has itchy hands and wants to fight. So this is actually a war of aggression.

It's just that after the war started, there were some merchants who traded with this small country and quietly went to report (the book says that these merchants secretly raised a foreign house overseas, and the news was to let their little wives and children run for their lives. Emperor Jianwu was furious when he found out. Killed a number of implicated merchants. This was followed by a ban on the sea.

This time the sea ban lasted for a year and a half, and it was not until Emperor Jianwu defeated the small country that he was subordinate, and the land was looted for two or three layers, and the sea ban was withdrawn.

It's just that Sanniang is a little strange, she read some books before and reflected that most of the income of the imperial court comes from overseas trade. But during the sea ban during the Jianwu years. In addition to the land grabbing the land, take some. The country's revenues have not shrunk much. This shows that during the Jianwu period, the country's control over the most maritime trade was greatly weakened.

After coming to Beijing, I checked some materials in the outer study and the collection of books in Wen's home. Sanniang began to speculate that at least since the Jianwu Dynasty, some maritime merchants colluded with some officials of the imperial court because they thought that the imperial court had collected too many taxes. The profits from going to sea are no longer paid to the treasury, but go into the pockets of certain people involved.

Sanniang remembers. The Sun family, the maiden family of the Sun family, began to make a fortune because the Sun family had several officials related to the city. Although the grade is not high, the oil and water are large.

Don't say anything about others. Let's just say that Sun's elder brother, when he was young, was re-elected as a political envoy from Erpincheng in the coastal land, and the political envoy was in charge of the civil affairs, field endowment, and household registration of a province. The political envoy of the coastal area is also in charge of the municipal shipping department. The city department under them often concurrently serves as the salt section department to lift. It can be said that the local tax revenue is firmly grasped in the hand.

Although the people of the Sun family are not high-ranking officials, they are all officials with oil and water. That's why the Sun family is so wealthy.

This time, the emperor took advantage of the marine accident to issue a ban on the sea, not just to find out the murderer, but also the emperor has begun to clean up the mess left over from the previous dynasty. Determined to take the delicious cake of maritime trade back into his mouth.

And Erniang's desire to cause chaos to the Wang family at this time has nothing to do with this sea ban with the emperor?

Sanniang thought about it again. The Sun family married Sun Yulan to Shen Wei back then, although Sun Yulan's death was unknown later. The two families don't seem to want to tear their faces, the last time I saw Sun Jinsheng's brother-in-law still stammering with Shen Wei, what's so greasy about this? The Sun family and the Shen family shouldn't be as simple as they seem on the surface, right?

It's a pity that Sanniang, as a boudoir woman, has limited knowledge about the affairs of the court. What I just thought of was nothing more than an inference from some information and clues from what happened.

It's just one thing for sure, no matter what idea Erniang and Shen Wei have, they must not let her succeed.

Thinking of this, Sanniang asked Li: "Does my uncle and grandmother have any ways to deal with this matter?" ”

Seeing that Sanniang had rounded the question back, Li Shi was not ambiguous, and thought about it: "If this matter is really boring, then we can't be fooled no matter what." Even if it will displease the clansmen, there is no way. ”

Sanniang groaned: "Actually, what Aunt Jiu just said is not unreasonable. ”

Wang Zheng was stunned: "What I say has always made sense, but ...... Which sentence are you talking about? ”

Sanniang smiled: "It's the one thing you hit the second uncle's house." ”

Wang Zheng blinked: "But...... Didn't the mother say that the uncle and aunt disagreed? We can't force it, so it's no different from those people. ”

Sanniang sighed: "I have to give it a try." "Now that the Sun family was killed by Erniang, it is no longer what it used to be, and it may be difficult to take charge of the Wang family's affairs again. When the Sun family and the old lady left Beijing, Wang Dong and the others had already entrusted Songling Yuan to Mama Chang temporarily, and wrote a letter to Wang Bai. If there is anything in the Sun family, Mama Chang will report directly to Beijing.

"Actually, I think Zhang'er is the most in line with my father's wishes, but it's a pity that he is a son-in-law, I'm afraid it's difficult." Wang Zheng also sighed.

Sanniang thought about it, smiled, and said mysteriously: "Actually, it's not difficult, as long as you pass the grandfather's level, it's easy to say whether the second brother or the third brother is good." ”

Wang Zheng glared at Sanniang: "Just your god!" Alright, don't sell it. ”

Sanniang smiled: "The eldest uncle and my father only have one son, and the second uncle only has two sons, but my grandfather has three sons." ”

Wang Zheng was stunned, and said uncertainly: "What do you mean......"

Sanniang nodded: "Instead of passing the step-grandchildren, it is better to have the step-children." My grandfather had three sons, and if my uncle and grandfather proposed to take the second uncle as a concubine, it should be feasible. ”

Li Shi has been listening to it from the sidelines, and when she heard this, she was also a little moved. In fact, among these grandchildren, Wang Xian's favorite belongs to Wang Zhang. This kid is smart and studious, and he has the most appetite for Wang Xian. Wang Xian told her more than once that although Wang Zhang is Wang Hong's grandson, he is more like him. When she heard this, she naturally couldn't laugh or cry. However, Wang Xian was not without regrets when he said this.

It's just that Wang Zhang is the only son-in-law in the second room, and if he wants to pass under Wang Xian's knees, it will definitely not work. After all the calculations, Wang Hong's room is only Wang Rui who can pass the grandchildren of the future.

Wang Rui is not bad, but Wang Xian still appreciates Wang Zhang more, presumably he dreams of a grandson like Wang Zhang. So after proposing to succeed Wang Rui was rejected by Mrs. Wang and the Sun family, Wang Xian was also arbitrary.

Sanniang's method is very good. If Wang Song is succeeded, then Wang Rui and Wang Zhang will be Wang Xian's grandsons. Wang Xian must have been happy when he found out.

Wang Zheng also thought that this method was good, but after thinking about it, she frowned again: "Although the idea is good, I'm afraid my uncle will not agree." "I don't agree to a grandson, and if I want to succeed a house, it's difficult. They're just rejoicing here.

Sanniang felt that it was not necessary, first of all, there was no need to worry about the Sun family's level, as long as she passed the level of the old lady Wang. It's just that she doesn't have a clue what to think of to make Old Lady Wang nod.

Sanniang believes that there is no problem in the world that cannot be solved, and that is the solution that you can't think of. I can't solve it now, and it's just because I haven't thought of it for the time being.

"There are still a few months before the deadline given by the fourth uncle and grandmother, there will always be a way." Sanniang arrived.

Wang Zheng nodded, and then began to sit there with his brows knotted and pondering.

The carriage outside stopped, and the mother-in-law who followed the car arrived outside, and it was already an intersection in front of her, so she asked Sanniang if she wanted to get out of the car.

Sanniang said goodbye to Li and Wang Zheng.

"You can think about it when you go back, and if you think of any way, send someone to tell me." Wang Zheng shook his hand at Sanniang.

This man is really nowhere to be seen! Sanniang thought helplessly, she is actually still the granddaughter of Old Lady Wang, right? How could Wang Zheng pull her to her side and let him calculate his grandfather with her?

The Li family is used to Wang Zheng messing around in private, but when she is outside, Wang Zheng has always known how to measure and never let her worry about it, so she will turn a blind eye. After all, the daughter's family can only be willful in the past few years under the knees of her parents, and if she marries someone in the future, even if she wants to be disproportionate, she will not give herself a chance if she wants a woman like Wang Zheng.

Sanniang got up from Li's carriage and sat back in her own carriage, and in her carriage, her own maid was there.

After another delay, the carriage slowly moved in the direction of Prince Zhuang's mansion.

When the Li family returned to the mansion, Wang Xian really hadn't returned to the mansion yet. Li instructed the kitchen to prepare some hot soup and hot tea for Wang Xian, and prepared some porridge and side dishes that were easy to digest.

By the time Wang Xian came back, it was already late.

Li asked the maids to finish serving Wang Xian to eat and drink, and walked around the house with him, and then told Wang Xian about the night.

Wang Xian was walking in the room while listening to Li's words, and when he heard Sanniang say that he wanted him to succeed Wang Song, Wang Xian's steps paused, and then walked back and forth casually.

Li and Wang Xian have been married for many years. Seeing that Wang Xian didn't say anything on his face, it was obvious that what he had just said made Wang Xian's heart move. (To be continued)
